Info


Máme tady první kapelu pro středeční PUNK AS FUCK FEST a hned se vytahujeme s jedním z headlinerů!!! Britské legendy stylu nazvaného UK82!!! Nikdo menší než čtyři letití punkáči, říkající si GBH!!! Bude to jedna z nejstarších kapel, která na OEF kdy hrála, protože jejich vznik se datuje do roku 1978, kdy spousta z Vás ještě nebyla ani na světě. Začali pod názvem Charged GBH a po několika letech ho zkrátili na jasné a úderné GBH - grievous bodily harm – těžké ublížení na zdraví, z kterého byl obviněn původní basák Sean McCarthy.

GBH od svého vzniku mocně koncertují po celém světě a mají na kontě opravdu spoustu nahrávek, z nichž většina zaslouží označení „legendární“ a my jsme nadšeni, že se nám tyto punkové krysy povedlo dotáhnout na trutnovské Bojiště, kde na Vás vyzkouší jejich špinavě punkové „těžké ublížení na zdraví“!!! GBH na OEF!!!

Bio

Charged GBH embarked on several English and mainland US tours during the early 1980s, including several gigs at the 100 Club. 1982 saw the release of GBH's first LP, City Baby Attacked By Rats which reached number 17 in the UK charts as well as Number 2 in the respected UK Indie charts where the bands singles had also taken up residence, leading to a memorable appearance on legendary UK TV programme "The Tube" doing "Give Me Fire" (UK Indie chart no 2). Lyrically, the album dealt with criticism of British and European culture, violence, morbidity (especially in reference to the song "Passenger On The Menu", which describes in graphic detail the experiences of the passengers on the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571), atheism, nihilism and humour. Musically, the album was loud and fast, with few songs exceeding three minutes. The success of the first album was repeated with second LP "City Baby's Revenge" in 1983 and saw more extensive touring in America and Europe and higher profile UK shows including the Carlisle Punk festival which they co headlined with fellow UK82 stalwarts The Exploited, and also featured the likes of Toy Dolls, Chelsea and The Destructors.

In 1984 the band dropped the "Charged" from their name and became just GBH (grievous bodily harm) .[5] Throughout their recording history it has become a tradition to include a cover version on many of the Albums. Boston Babies - Slaughter and The Dogs (City Baby Attacked By Rats), I Feel Alright - The Damned / The Stooges (City Baby's Revenge), Avenues and Alleyways - Tony Christie (No Need To Panic), Needle In A Haystack - The Velvelettes (A Fridge Too Far), Destroy - The Vibrators (From Here To Reality), I Need Energy - Zero Boys (Church of The Truly Warped).

They and many of their UK82 peers such as The Exploited, Picture Frame Seduction, Discharge, and The Varukers have all enjoyed resounding success among street punks in the USA. Although many of their contemporaries have evolved towards other styles over the years, GBH have remained fairly faithful to their original UK82 sound in subsequent releases. However, the band have experimented to some degree with a more speed metal-inflected sound, notably with their 1992 release Church of the Truly Warped, although they have since returned to a more purist punk sound. The band is still active and touring and maintain a strong following both in England and the rest of Europe, as well as in the United States and Japan. The band released their twelfth studio album, "Momentum", on Hellcat Records in 2017.
